Why do you need this advanced C#.NET PDF to text converter library SDK? Although there are several free or licensed converting methods to convert PDF documents to plain text format files on the market, our C# PDF to text converter SDK successfully distinguishes itself from those existing PDF to text conversion software based on its good outputted text file quality.

For example, you can easily convert PDF document to text file using Adobe Reader. But the text file that is converted by this method loses the original PDF document layout and all the paragraphs are joining together. On the contrary, the outputted text file, converted by our C# PDF to text converting library, is separated by page and all the paragraphs are well retained with nice formatting.

All text content of target PDF document can be extracted and saved as new text file with good formatting
